lyrics

Resonate a diaphragm
Into another diaphragm
I never thought you'd understand
I simplified the diagram
A jagged dagger drawn
Black swords in my two hands
Illustrate the mind
Be the mightier than
Any weapon of oppression
Uttered words of command
It's an attack on your flank
Baby infantry advance

Like a blitzkrieg backwards
Surrendering your territory
Conquered unconscious
Embracing the enemy
Details Spartan
Decorated Generals
Martyr manifested these
Little individuals
Space invasion
Occupied hours
Y X allied with the
Axis Powers
Graph the attack
It's interdimensional
Futile resistance
A force gravitational
Scourge of inertia
As apathy fought
I saw her claw a defeat
Out of victory's jaw

These are the arts of war
Armored hearts on
Attention whores we
Stand at easel
Portraits drawn
In Flanders Fields
Of fire we fall

Business unusual
Lest we remember
Our memories ended
November 11
Mask on target as
History beckons
A class that he passed
Nothing less than a lesson
From a new breed of teacher
Mr Ballistics
Media, Drama
Psychology, Physics
Teach me to open up
A magazine
A red scrawl on the wall
You can barely read

These are the arts of war
Armored hearts on
Attention whores we
Stand at easel
Portrait drawn
In Flanders Fields
Of fire we fall

Thin your blood, thin your blood
Here the water grows thicker
Crimson and white
Now the city is a river
You flooded the gutters
With lights On
No-one's at home
Brain on vacation
Body sits prone
Tick tick there's a
Bomb in your home
A chemical weaponised
Drone pheromone, been
Bottled and wafted
The stench of success
Never forget who can gas you the best
Accept resignation
As your right to choose
But you can only pick
The poison that's been chosen for you
